Join Us for New York Voices for Animals Lobby Day 2013!
Please join the ASPCA, the New York State Animal Protection Federation, the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society and fellow animal lovers on Monday, May 6, in Albany for New York Voices for Animals Lobby Day! This is an exciting opportunity to let your state lawmakers know, in person, that you support animal protection and oppose laws that would allow animals to be hurt and exploited.
During Lobby Day, you and other animal advocates will be the voices for animals in your state!
New York Voices for Animals Lobby Day provides animal advocates with a structured, comfortable setting in which to meet their elected officials. We’ll organize and help prepare you for these meetings with insider tips and an overview of pending or upcoming legislation that directly impacts animals.
Legislative topics will likely include:
- Cracking down on puppy mills
- Dog control officer training
- Strengthening cruelty penalties
- Stopping dog breed-specific insurance policy discrimination
This event is critical to our lobbying efforts and to preventing animal cruelty. It’s also a great networking activity, and is invigorating, inspiring and very personally rewarding. Don’t miss out!
